Bo Olson
I’m a full-stack applied data scientist with strong data engineering skills, a creative mind for building enterprise-level ML solutions, and an obession with communicating results beautifully. I’m experienced in driving a data team from descriptive to prescriptive analytics, and bringing stakeholders along for the journey.
I value empathy in design and communication, and I view analytics and data science as a service meant to improve the daily lives of my peers.
